How Much Do Roller Blinds Cost?

Cost is nearly always a consideration when it comes to purchasing and fitting roller blinds. Here we take a look at what sort of prices you might expect to pay for new roller blinds, as well as the factors which influence the price of your blinds. 

How much do Roller Blinds cost?

As a general guide, you can expect to pay somewhere between $30-$185 for a window covering such as a roller blind. Hiretrades quote between $400 and $1,000 to supply and fit blinds to a home with eight windows in it. It is difficult to be specific regarding roller blind costs based on average figures, as there are a number of variables that can significantly affect the purchase and installation costs.

All roller blinds are not the same! Each property is unique and requires a different blind solution to ensure the best window dressing results. Three of the variables that have a significant influence on roller blind cost are detailed below.

The type of material that's been used to make the blind plays a big part in determining cost. Thicker materials (for example those made to block out sunlight) are likely to be more expensive than thinner options. If you want a fabric that's been treated so that it's resistant to UV light, that may also add to the cost. Customers who want a material created by a designer brand are going to pay a premium for the name. It's also true that you get what you pay for - more expensive blinds that are custom-made or that come from a reputable manufacturer frequently last longer than discount options.

As you would expect, the larger the blind, the more it's going to cost. Not only is more fabric required to complete the blind, larger blinds often need costlier fittings to ensure they are securely installed. 

Many modern homes are fitted with windows that are manufactured in a small range of standard sizes. For property owners that own a home with standard windows, it's possible to purchase off-the-shelf blinds, which are inevitably cheaper than those which are custom-made. If you have an older property, for example, or property with non-standard windows (perhaps you want a blind for an arched window or a skylight) you may wish to consider custom blinds. 

Furthermore, if you have a particular fabric design in mind for your soft furnishings, custom-made blinds offer the perfect solution. Some customers may wish to invest in non-standard fixings, or require an extra-large blind. In these circumstances and more, the blind may be made as a one-off. On average, customised blinds tend to cost more than off-the-shelf options, due to the increased labour costs involved in their creation.

Ultimately, the cost of your blinds will vary depending on your preferences and the type of property you have.
